Switching tasks deviates the brain from the main task and the chances of fallacy or mishaps are high. Another important complication is that the concentration on the main task can be missed.

Another name for mannerism is “Late Renaissance”. This style sprung up as a European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520 and lasted until the end of the 16th Century.
